I did the same thing at DisneyWorld with the meal plan. We ate 3 big meals per day plus snacks. One day, we had a $200.00 lunch (2 adults and 1 kid) at the steakhouse at the Canadian Pavilion at Epcot. It doesn't matter on the plan whether or not you have this or pizza for lunch. There was no dollar limit. So, ya, you would be crazy not to take advantage of it.

Good to see you back lifting again. Just get the first few sessions out of the way and it's back in the game.

thanks Jim, my endurance took a dive with those 2 weeks off . Those 65's get heavy real quick with short rest periods. Before i took the break i was doing my chest fly's and then the dumbbell pressing and on my 4 th set I went all out and got 18 reps on incline with the 65's. That was not happening yesterday, That 3rd set of 10 was a grind. Switched to flat bench to be able to go more. 3rd set was only 9 reps as the 10th may have went up but it would have been bad form.

Over all, im happy with the work I done, Next week I will be more ready and Im sure the higher weight less reps will not be as tough as the cardio for reps I done here.

First day off boat. Slept an hour after working late shirt last night and then stayed in bed with the wife all day.

Oh well, after the long break I did not want to completely destroy myself today.

I was going to do some single leg squats but chose to stop here and add them back in Monday before I go back to work.

Over all not bad concidering no rest and all the time off . Will live to lift another day
